Luo Xiu's sudden outburst and his harshness toward Lin Xiyue caught everyone off guard.
At that mont, Xu Qianqing, Sun Li, and Su Shanyue were all too afraid to utter a word.
Although they could normally joke around and even gang up to tease Luo Xiu, he was genuinely terrifying when he lost his temper.
"Luo Xiu, why did you have to yell at President Lin?" Xu Qianqing mustered up her courage to speak up for Lin Xiyue. "She didn't do anything wrong. She was just thinking of the company's interests, and she doesn't want you to get too close to... those people from the underworld."
Luo Xiu rely smiled indifferently and turned to walk into the kitchen. "Don't mind her. That woman is getting more and more carried away, really starting to think she's the lady of the house. Alright, you all tidy up a bit. Let's get ready for dinner."

「anwhile.」
In a luxurious five-star hotel, Tao Laosi and Xiang Laoer stood before Duan Feibai with their heads bowed, like two children who had made a mistake.
Duan Feibai looked at them with an unreadable smile, montarily at a loss for words. "How should I put this... It's like they say online: 'All the moves of a tiger, but the results of a clown.' Look, you two Dragon Heads, I don't need an explanation from you. After all, this was your plan. Whether it was a fiasco or a success is none of my business. I just want my 1.5 billion back."
Xiang Laoer smiled sheepishly. "Young Master Duan, you know our situation, so could you... I an, you aren't exactly short on cash."
Duan Feibai chuckled. "I'm not short on cash, but that doesn't an I'm generous."
Tao Laosi gritted his teeth and said, "This is all the Fly Whale Gang's doing! Young Master Duan, just give so ti. I'll go to the Fly Whale Gang and—"
Duan Feibai cut him off with a dismissive laugh. "If I rember correctly, don't you two answer to Yue Tianyang?"
Tao Laosi kept his head down. "Yes, Young Master Duan. Our boss is Boss Yue."
"Yue Tianyang and I know each other well," Duan Feibai said. "I could just ask him for the money directly."
"No! Please don't, Young Master Duan!" the two of them exclaid anxiously.
"If Boss Yue finds out about this, we'll lose our hands!"
"Please, Young Master Duan, have rcy! Just give us a bit more ti. We will definitely repay the 1.5 billion, with interest guaranteed!"
Duan Feibai raised an eyebrow. "And how do you plan to do that? Luo Xiu has nearly bled you dry."
"We signed a one-year contract with the dical Association, so we still control the dicinal materials market in Henghai Province," Tao Laosi said quickly. "And we have a few pharmaceutical companies under our nas. So don't worry, Young Master Duan. We'll earn the money back as soon as possible."
Duan Feibai waved them off impatiently. "Alright, get lost. If you don't have the money the next ti I co looking, then I won't be so nice. I'll have to take it up with your master."
"Of course! We'll definitely have the money for you next ti. Please, get so rest, Young Master Duan. We'll be on our way."

After dinner, Luo Xiu took the transfer agreents and left, preparing to et Boss Huang.
Wu Xin followed behind him and said, "You don't have to pretend to be so loyal to Boss Huang in front of . I work for Big Sister, and I know why she arranged for you to be by his side."
Luo Xiu just chuckled without saying a word.
Wu Xin asked, "Were you being so harsh on Lin Xiyue earlier to push her away, to keep her from getting involved in all this?"
Luo Xiu suddenly retorted, "And how do I know if you're truly loyal to Su Shenyun?"
"What about you?" Wu Xin shot back. "Are you truly loyal to her?"
"I just promised to help her," Luo Xiu replied. "A promise is a promise. That's all there is to it."
Wu Xin comnted, "It seems Big Sister has conquered you as well."
Luo Xiu smiled. "I have to admit you're right about that. She is a very frightening woman."
As they spoke, they got into Wu Tianhua's car. Before long, Wu Tianhua had driven them to Boss Huang's villa.

"Xiao Luo, you handled this beautifully!" Boss Huang roared with laughter, his speech peppered with profanities as he looked over the transfer agreents. "Hahaha... Fucking brilliant! Man, I fuckin' love you!"
He had been fighting openly and covertly with Tao Laosi and Xiang Laoer for so many years, sotis gaining an advantage, other tis suffering losses. He never imagined that Luo Xiu, with a single maneuver, could carve such a huge chunk of flesh from his rivals. The thought alone was incredibly satisfying.
Luo Xiu said, "I'm part of the East District, so naturally, I want to contribute. Now that these businesses belong to us, it looks like you'll be quite busy, big brother."
Boss Huang threw an arm around Luo Xiu's shoulder and grinned. "Xiao Luo, you're the greatest hero in all this. Tell , what do you want? No matter what it is, I'll give it to you!"
"I've started a pharmaceutical company," Luo Xiu said frankly, "so I need that batch of dicinal materials."
"No problem at all!" Boss Huang agreed readily. "You're the one who won them, after all! To be honest, I was planning to sell those materials out of the province, but since you've asked, they're yours."
"Thank you, big brother," Luo Xiu said.
"Hey, I told you to call Ah Huang!"
"Thank you, Ah Huang."
"Xiao Luo, I'm in a great mood today. I want to take you out for so fun."
Noticing the secretive smile on Boss Huang's face, Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel curious. "Fun doing what?"
"We've got a few fine articles this ti. I couldn't even bear to touch them myself. I figure only a dragon among n like you is worthy of them!"
"Err... what kind of fine articles are we talking about?" Luo Xiu's curiosity grew. "Why are you being so mysterious?"
"You'll see in a bit."
Boss Huang then led Luo Xiu out the door, and they soon arrived at a KTV.
The mont Luo Xiu stepped into the private room, his gaze fell upon a row of long legs, and he froze. There were five won, all of them absolutely top-notch in both figure and appearance. Each one wore a sexy miniskirt and high heels, with either black or flesh-toned stockings.
It was then that Luo Xiu understood. These were the "fine articles" Boss Huang had been referring to.
Suddenly, Boss Huang gave him a hard shove into the room. "Well, don't just stand there! Greet him!"
The five won bowed in unison, their movents graceful, and chorused, "Good evening, President Luo!"
Luo Xiu rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly, looking a little shy.
Boss Huang turned to the won. "Tonight, the five of you are to take good care of President Luo. If he can still get out of bed tomorrow... you'll all have to answer to!"
Hearing this, the five won giggled, their eyes fixed on Luo Xiu as if he were prey. He felt a shiver run through him under their predatory gazes.
"Uh... Ah Huang, maybe you should enjoy these top-notch beauties yourself."
"Absolutely not!" Boss Huang waved his hand, his expression serious. "Although you've healed , I haven't touched a single woman these days. I'm loyal to your sister-in-law! Heh, I'm just waiting for her to return now."
Leaning close to Luo Xiu's ear, he whispered, "Let tell you, Xiao Luo, these are all virgins. The real deal, I guarantee it! If you weren't so damn handso, I'd be heartbroken giving them to you! Now, you take your ti and have fun. I'm going to the room next door for a drink."
And with that, Luo Xiu was left alone in the room with them.
Boss Huang had Wu Xin stand guard outside, then went to the adjacent private room alone. As soon as he entered, he saw Qian Laoyao and Zhu Hongmo sitting there, drinking.
Boss Huang walked over, sat down, and poured himself a drink. "The higher-ups want us to make another delivery. This ti, I'm thinking of sending Luo Xiu."
Hearing this, Qian Laoyao frowned. "Send him to make a delivery now? Is he really trustworthy?"
Boss Huang chuckled. "He's contributed so much this ti. Doesn't that make him worthy of our trust?" He then glanced at Zhu Hongmo and lowered his voice. "Besides, Old Master Zhu will be going with him. If anything seems off, Old Master Zhu, I'll have to trouble you to deal with him."
Zhu Hongmo nodded.
Qian Laoyao asked, "This kid is quite skilled. Are you sure you can handle him, Old Master Zhu?"
Zhu Hongmo scoffed. "If I truly wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping my hand. Besides, with your loyal n there, taking down one person like Luo Xiu will be simple with so many of us."
"That's good to hear!" Boss Huang laughed. "But it all depends on the situation. The kid is talented. If you just kill him off, wouldn't that be a huge loss for ?"
Qian Laoyao raised his glass. "Old Huang, aren't you contradicting yourself? On one hand, you think he's a talent you cherish so much you'd give him five top-notch won. On the other, you want to kill him. What exactly is your ga?"
Boss Huang's eyelids drooped. "It's not a contradiction. I do like the kid, that's true, but I also know my priorities. If he becos a threat to our organization... then I'll have to kill him, no matter how much it pains . Moreover, the kid is difficult to control. If I find I can't manage him, he has to be killed. Otherwise, he'll just beco a problem down the line."
Zhu Hongmo stood up. "Leave this matter to !"
A mysterious smile touched Boss Huang's lips. "But honestly, I really do trust him."
Qian Laoyao smirked. "Sending those five beauties to him tonight... that's also a test, isn't it?"
